You can definitely see it in stores though.

When it gets dark at 5ish people seem to go home and then stay home.

When it gets dark at 8 or 9ish people seem to go home and then maybe go do a chore or go to a bar or something.

I'm skeptical for it leading to extra retail shopping though (rather than time shifting away from the weekends). You can definitely see the difference in restaurants/bars though.

It tends to be the weeks where people come home to light or just dusk and it quickly gets dark most impacted (early spring/late fall).

$100k gives a lot of space to pay people for 2 weeks.

Is google really that much better of a gatekeeper?

Somebody's gonna gatekeep what of the 1000x more content you see.

I really like how they summed it up at the end though "that was terrible". At least they were self aware. I feel sorry for anyone that needs to watch 90 minutes of it.

Generally IPOs don't have great 1 year performance (as pre IPO investors cash out).

This is the reason that indexes usually wait (and have rules about it). Not wanting to be forced to buy in at the IPO price is pretty reasonable.

Nothing to do with Musk or SpaceX.

An OS costs under $200 in 2026 dollars.

Seems to have gotten pretty cheap.

I think the concept is that if a company announces mass layoffs because AI yountax them per employee.

I assume what would actually happen is honesty in layoffs, notbtax revenue.

Because the there's about a 2%+ (Poland on the high end) swing in GDP for countries to feel internally secure.

That's either taxes or benefits cuts.

If we in the US get our heads out of our asses and start negotiating on medicine it'll be even more, since currently the US is funding a lot of medical research through high insurance prices.

No way they make half of them.

The vast majority of CPUs are ARM, and Intel isn't making many of them.

The reason Intel stayed flat (market cap) even as they pounded AMD in the bulldozer era is that they were also becoming a niche part of the CPU market.

I doubt it's AI slop.

Edge has been storing passwords long enough that I assume the password manager code predates AI coding.

Because a game optimized version of steam runs games well it can definitely run some janky office software written with weod MS libraries of 20 years ago?

Not sure the one follows the other.

That means 4% are using Linux on the desktop to game.

Obviously less than 5%, but I'm shocked it's only 23% on steak deck.

Steak Deck is great and what got me back into PC gaming. The fact that there are so many desktop users of Linux also tamony is surprising to me.

Somewhere between the 25th and 50th percentile of a stenographer that hasn't pre programmed names.

And if it weren't for the homework, I would have bombed. The homework was all online (using ALEKS product) and brutal. But the drill is what made me get an 'A' grade. As one professor said, "you don't study math, you practice math." You don't get that from in-class lectures.

I don't see how grade school kids can effectively learn math just in classroom time. Keep the homework, please.

I always thought notepad++'s thing was it used native windows stuff for all the UI to keep light.
